Jack McEarchern did it all at Silver Springs
John “Jack” McEarchern Jr. has lost track of how many times he was killed, maimed or speared during filming of Lloyd Bridges’ “Sea Hunt” TV series at Silver Springs.
Per the above article: “John “Jack” McEarchern Jr. has lost track of how many times he was killed, maimed or speared during filming of Lloyd Bridges’ “Sea Hunt” TV series at Silver Springs.
“I was a good guy, bad guy, dead guy, whatever they needed,” McEarchern said. “One time, I played the bad guy and rolled a rock on him (Bridges). Then, I turned around and played the good guy and saved him.
“In another episode, they needed a dead guy on the bottom,” he said. “They zoomed in on me to start the show. It got so cold, I couldn’t stop shaking, so they had to rewrite the script to say, ‘He was in his death throes.’ The best thing was getting out after eight hours under water. Seventy-two degrees will suck the heat right out of you.”
